[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

As a side note - if Henderson says VAR bends the lines somehow, isnt that questioning the integrity of match officials and as such shouldnt he be banned.

Yeah, yer can't make a simple joke, tongue-in-cheek comment about the integrity of The Whistling Wankers, unless the comment came from a 'hoofer' clad in scarlet.

 

[Chris in London]

Tyler brought up the same Sterling stat yesterday again as he did in the Leeds game about only having 1 assist last season (never mind the 30 odd goals he’s scored Martin)

oh and in the pre match build up apparently this was City’s chance to put an end to their 2 games winless streak.. 2 games !!!!

I wonder what will be made of Liverpool’s 2 game winless streak?

 

[stonerblue]

Had the misfortune to watch our first half on sky. Commentator and neville didn't have one good word to say about City and praised Arsenal throughout. The Portuguese commentary I found for the second half was much better.

And leaky defence? I'm sure that twat from the Rags will be doing an opinion piece telling us their problems aren't just in defence any minute now.

Soon it’ll be ‘Aguero dragged her to the floor before sexually assaulting her on the touch line’

Tyler set off like that before reigning himself back but Neville gave a little titter anyways.

Aguero ban will depend on length of Dick van Dykes injury as we play them soon
shame we wasnt on BT sports as it never happens if their game

Nothing obviously

I wonder if that whopper Jake Humphries sends a self obsessed tweet telling people he was presenting the Merseyside Derby when thr VVD injury took place. It will be a landmark in his TV career.

Que?

 

[half & half derby scarf]

Tyler showed his true colours yet again by saying something along the lines of. "When you want VAR (like during the England match) it isn't there, but when you don't want it (Merseyside derby) it is there. He quickly realised his bias and said 'If you are on the red side in Liverpool that is'.

 

[doobyedoobye]

Punditry simply hasn't kept up with the science of the game. It's just reality TV versus pantomime

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

The disappointment in Tyler's tone when revealing that City's net spend during the last 5 transfer windows was only the 8th highest in the Premier League

Although I can’t speak German (Reason I watched German stream) I could tell they were so far up the Dippers are, it’s quite funny how the tone & excitement then the players name, contrast with the Toffees players.

 

[cookster]

I notice we get a mention on the front page of the Times, regarding the alleged sexual assault in Abu Dhabi.

 

[hihosilva]

Sky sports this morning suggesting Arsenal should have hade a penalty & possible sending off for Aguero for handling the assistant ref. No mention of our potential penalty when Bernardo was blocked off.

nearly fell off me couch when he came out with that. Also showed a helpful graphic.

 

[W12]

It's funny as I don't remember this much condemnation for VAR when we've had decisions go against us like yesterday.
I'm sure it was just a pat on the back and a shrug of the shoulders for us.

And sky sports news have just said that Sergio pulled the official back! I hope she's OK and isn't off long with whiplash.

Fortunately she didn't do a Henderson

 

[colinthewindowcleaner]

To me she turned her back on Aquero when he questioned her about her decision, which was wrong in her case. Also looking at various replays her decision was totally wrong as Aquero was off the pitch when it the ball hit the soles of his boots

without one of our main players wanting out
